This Basquiat has to be fake right?

No-one can tell because his work was so childish and easy to fake.
Just like all those 'Lowrys' you get on eBay, too

It's small, the background is pretty simple, red is the only color, bad composition, drawing is weak as well, signature is really big and annoying. I'm pretty this is fake, if not then it's a really bad basquiat.

Also he put a crown in like maybe 2% of his paintings. And the copyright thing after his signature is just as unlikely. He wouldn't have signed something like this anyways. A decent fake but the affectations give it away.

Someone just tried to make something look like a basquiat by putting all the basquiat things in it. People do the same thing with Van Gogh. Thick paint, curvy outlines, and cypress trees doesn't make something authentically Van Gogh. Again he did that in a small percent of his later work it's just what everyone associates with him
